Church of St James, Medieval religious landmark in Chipping Campden, England
The Church of St James contains a five-bay nave, three-bay chancel, two aisles, and a west tower reaching 119 feet in height with pinnacles.
The site has held religious structures since 1180, with the current perpendicular Gothic building constructed during the 15th century using wealth from wool trade.
The interior displays medieval altar frontals from 1500, a cope from 1400, and monuments dedicated to prominent wool merchant William Grevel and silk trader Baptist Hicks.
The church maintains regular Sunday services, including Holy Communion and Morning Praise, while remaining open for private prayer between 11 am and 4 pm during summer.
The five-stage tower incorporates architectural elements from its Norman predecessor, marking generations of religious continuity at this exact location.
